Medium Ruby with berry fruit aromas, fragrant spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and licorice with notes of pepper spice, tangy mineral feel. Fine tannins, medium+ savory finish ending with a vanilla, tobacco and cacao. Nice!

2015 vintage.
Bright ruby red in the glass.
Violets, ripe cherry, leather, red plums, cassis and underbrush.
Well integrated tannins with crisp acidity on the earthy finish.
Very nice.
This will age beautifully and be a fantastic brother to 2016 vintage.

This is a textbook Brunello. Ripe cherry, vanilla, an earth note on the nose - not strong but complex. Bright, perfectly balanced on the palate, long finish. A classy wine.
